An Easy, Comical One

[Meulaboh, November 2010]

When your dreams slip through your hands and fly away, let go of disappointment
When loneliness kisses you, let go of self-pity and gloomy face
When your heart is hurt by a trusted friend, let go of bitterness
When the one who promised to always be there walked away, let him go and wish him the best
I’ll stand strong, I’ll move on
I’ll walk on the road though it seems so quiet and tough
‘cause I’ve been through this and I will be okay
Nananana…I will be okay…I will be okay…

Life can break me, love can fool me, Lindt* can allure me
It’s psychotic, super outrageous, mind-boggling
cracked my head and flirted with insomnia
choked my tiny throat that only cointreau** could remedy

Yet I see hope hopping flopping and soaring
an angel whispered a heavenly song
about a little girl*** who is always remembered and loved by Him
no perfection is required, only a shattered heart

The weather is crispy, rainbow gracefully dances in the blue sky
When sunshine embraces, I will sip good coffee and know I will be alright
Nananana…I will be alright…I will be alright…


* a brand of Swiss chocolate
** a brand of liqueur
*** can change that with your name


“…everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” (Victor Frankl)
